Take a swim in the prediction game, no fear of getting bit

The old NHL standard is that a team coming off a long road trip usually plays poorly in its first game at home (San Jose just finished a six-game road trip in which it went 1-5-0).

And Dallas does very well in this arena, going 9-2-1 in its last 12 visits in the regular season (they also went 2-1-0 here in the 2008 playoffs).

So, this has to be a Stars win, right?

Debbie was the big winner in the Nashville pick, as she decimated the pack with a 3-1 victory for the Stars (they indeed won 3-1) and Brad Richards and Loui Eriksson among the three stars (they were indeed among the three stars).

That is impressive, and she will always have the undying respect of her peers (at least until the next pick).
